Dinner

The three of them went into the dining room of this new world, wondering just who Jon's mother was with. They were recognizeable, sort of. Jon's mother was obvious, although her hair was in the wrong hairstyle from what Jon and Jonnie remembered. The woman she was with looked a little bit like Jonnie. Could it be this world's version of Jon's father? Maybe... she could have been the same person. She had no whiskers, of course, and longer hair, and her clothes were different, but the facial features just barely **could** have been his if he had been a girl. "So who's your friend, Jon?" asked Jon's mother. Jonnie was about to respond but Jon spoke first, fortunately. "Her name's Jonnie. We started getting to know each other today when I learned she had a similar name to mine..." Best if Jon mention the similarity first rather than someone wondering about it. "Don't you think she looks a little like me, too?" "Maybe just a bit," said Jon's mom. "What do you think, honey?" she asked to the other woman. Which narrowed down the possibilities a bit. She can't be Jon's mother's sister, and she's not a casual friend. "I don't know," replied the other woman. "She's not **that** much like our daughter...." Which answered the question... But led Jon to wonder, just how did families work in this world?
